From Strength to Strength
Cubans continue their quest to improve Habanos
James Suckling
From the Print Edition:
David Caruso, Jan/Feb 2007
Everyone was looking a little light-headed. Jemma Freeman, the managing director of Hunters & Frankau, U.K. importers for Cuban cigars, was giggly. Edward Sahakian, the well-known owner of London's Davidoff shop, was sitting back looking blankly at the ceiling and fellow journalist Nick Faulkes was slightly pale and sweaty. I kept thinking that something had gone wrong with my eyeglasses, as everything seemed foggy and unfocused.
"Esta tobacco es muy fuerte, verdad!" I said in my poor Spanish to the new head of the H. Upmann factory in Havana during a meeting there last fall. "It's really strong!" I turned and repeated my observation in English to the others.
Miguel Brown had a big smile on his face. I wasn't sure if he was happy that we were all half stoned on his new cigar—the Petit Edmundo—or he was getting a kick out of watching some foreigners trying to hold it together while testing a very young smoke. The Petit Edmundo, a 52 ring gauge by 4 1/3 inch cigar, is expected to hit the streets this year, perhaps during the annual cigar festival in Havana in late February.
I am a big fan of the regular Edmundo, a 52 ring gauge by 5 1/3 inch cigar in the Montecristo line that debuted about three years ago. The fat smoke is a spicy mouthful with lots of creamy, coffee character. It seems to be getting better all the time. It was originally made in the former H. Upmann factory in Old Havana behind the Partagas factory, but was switched to a new factory about a year and a half ago. It has gone from being a good, slightly bland smoke to a flavorful, must-have for Havana lovers.
Brown was certainly pleased to hear my views on how the Edmundo had improved, but he also seemed surprised, even annoyed. "We haven't changed anything in particular in making the cigar," he said, when I insisted that the enhanced quality was all because the cigars were now made in the new H. Upmann location.
It didn't matter. A tour through his factory only reinforced my thoughts. H. Upmann seems to be getting better and better as a factory, from well-managed workers to superior tobacco. One of the biggest eye-openers was the improvement in raw material, particularly the ligero, or strong tobacco, used in the blends. As I walked through the blending room, I noticed a number of bales with the dates 1999-2000 printed on them, and they were filled with powerful and flavorful ligero leaves. The workers sorting the blends for the next day's rolling also confirmed that the tobacco quality had greatly improved. I hadn't seen such great filler tobacco in Cuban factories since the mid-1990s, and it confirms why rich and flavorful cigars are coming out of Havana again. The improved tobacco is part of the reason that our Cigar of the Year is a Cuban smoke—the Bolivar robusto called the Royal Corona (See page 59).
Another exciting development is the new security system at the H. Upmann factory. Brown suggested that they had virtually cut out all thieving on the premises, which could include everything from loose leftover tobacco on the floors to boxes and cigars in storage. Brown showed me a closed-circuit television system in his office that scans the various departments in the factory. The cameras can zoom in on the workbench of a single roller, or any other worker.
In Cuba, it has been a given that some factory workers steal things. The bands, boxes, stickers, seals and everything else for authentic-looking but fake cigars sold on the street have to come from somewhere because counterfeiters in Cuba can't produce all the stuff themselves. Cigars also leave "mysteriously" from factories, although I am told that many counterfeits are produced in small clandestine factories on the island. Over my years visiting Havana's main factories, I have even seen rollers selling cigars to visitors as they walked by the rolling tables. If you pass by the Partagas factory, you will be mobbed by dudes claiming to have a brother or uncle working inside.
Brown explained that such a free-for-all environment in a factory creates a bad atmosphere and workers are distracted from their work and even demoralized. No one can make good cigars when the ambience is rotten. "The problem is that nobody wants to tell on another person for such wrongdoing," Brown said. "So we need our own proof."
I have no idea why I said this to him in his office before visiting the factory floor, but I joked, "I am sure I will be offered a cigar or two when I am in the rolling room." His eyes opened wide, with an excited sort of look. "If you are offered a cigar while you are in the factory, I will give you a few boxes of cigars. No workers will offer you anything," he said defiantly.

I have found a portrait of a good friend of mine, which I did some time ago ...
Just wanted to show you so here we go
some stuff...
And the first selfportrait in a different angle.
It doesn't look like me at all ... so it should be failed ^^
but somehow I quite like it ... first try with toned paper
woo ho hooo.. some nice studies in here... i love the handsketches on the first site.. keep postin
FAST ART Thanks And I will!
Loomis, this morning
You are studying hard some really nice stuff in here love the hand studies too i gotta get my drawing hand cranked up!!
nice studies. keep it up!
Yeah it's hard to get the likeness right with self-portraits, but it's more important that you get the general form and value right so don't consider it a failure just because it doesn't look like you ^^ Anyway, great studies dude. I love the first page and all the loomis studies and head studies. Try to stay in the habit of doing studies of that nature between your imaginative work. If you keep going back to those studies over time, you'll be able to extract more and more information to improve your drawings from imagination. Keep up the good work!
Sketchbook * Deviantart * Twitter * Google+
hah! Good stuff! And also its good you found your way into the loomis books! They are soooo great ! You can learn alot from them.
Keep up the hard work and youll improve in no time
For the big selfportrait you made watch out for the construction of the skull..
Likeness will come in time,, just keep doing them and then BAM! .. its like looking into a mirror! And its also quite normal to stylize yourself a little when you are doing a selfportrait.. You mind tends to do that
Anyway! Keep up the good work!
My Sketchbook
Looks like your dedication is taking you in the right direction. Good job. Keep those studies coming.
Cool studies. Nice improvement since start. My only advice - study more
Thank you all for the lot of replies here
That realy motivates me to post more often and consequently to draw and paint more!
latigid Thanks
Thisisbiblo Thank you
dierat Yeah thanks for the tip! This sounds ok for me Hope to improve that way yeah
rogerb Yeah loomis helped me a lot and I am still in the beginning of the books and my journay Hope that I can show more self portraits soon.
realextension Thanks, I will
GeoD Yeah thanks mate! That seems to be the best thing to improve! Thanks for that motivation, gonna do an b/w environment or some posemaniacs studies (or both ^^) now!
Two 10 or 15 minute portraits I did in the train to/from on friday.
Tried to give him some *what shall I call that grey? tone? ^^*
Hey, good start. Loomis is a great place to learn but you shouldn't just copy his stuff but come up with own poses and so using his ideas. I think your efforts will pay off, keep on drawing
TedNindo Thanks for the tip. I recognised that I always copied ... but I felt more "secure" like this ... I'll try to do both, studies from loomis but also own poses from now. With heads I have tried some yet ... must do more
Here just a little wip of a master head.
I am kinda happy: After that head the next ~10 will all be carravagio studies
great SB Eiki your observational studies are really good!
Keep on drawing
Thanks mysocksrock your nick rocks by the way
So here I finished the head .. played a bit with layermodes ...
And one sheet of 60 sek posemaniacs
Some stuff and I tried too draw a still life with a champagne bottle ... but it looks like a bottle full of iron ... so many reflections but no "transparency" ...
Here we go
Totally love your progress, your studies are much more fluid and dynamic, loving that. I'm also loving how you're not drawing 'pretty' people that are perfectly shaped Drawing people you see is a good way to learn, so props for doing that. Keep up the great work!
I'm lovin' the progress in this SB -- can't wait to see the finished "Family" pic!
Heads and hands are super-hard (and kind of important), so draw draw draw.. Keep at it, don't stop!!!
Look, see! Nifty art! http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=99803
Hey! Check out my blog here
kuebiko Thanks. The past days I hesitated drawing people in the train ........ Not good Next occassion I will draw again!
AmontilladoAg Thanks for your post and the motivation! Yeah I want to see the family final too :p will work at it!
Today some older eviro attempts ^^, one new head (not really finished but theres some things I like) and some pages of my current sketchbook. Each page looks so different atm
Hey and wanted to show you the cover of my current sb. just doodled on a paper .... but I liked it xD
Feel free to comment and criticize It will help me I am sure, thanks
some fun with earliest frankentsteins monster concept I started ^^
And on page of my current sketchbook.
But the pencil always smears over .... and the lines vanish oder look bad -.- ......
Do you have a good tip what to do against that? In other sketchbooks that stuff looks sooooo great .... I don't know what I can do
Thanks for tips
Worked about 2 hours more on that family piece (men I am slow!).
Worked primarily on the women at the right and on the plate at the bottom.
Darkened the wall a bit (bottom) to draw the attention more to the center of the pic (the family) I hope. Must highlight the very center in the very end I guess.
Next time I'll flip the canvas and try to fix all that mistakes I spotted when I checked the flipped image today ... it didn't look good -.- The original side I work on looks much better aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh ^^
Bah! Here we go! Must draw and paint. I'm away
Argh ....
Now that I am looking at the family pic here on my laptop I realise that in some areas the colors look soooo ugly.... The dog looks black and blue "dotted". On my desktop pc where I paint it looked much better ....
Is there any possibility to get the "right" colors? Does anyone know what I mean and has a tip how to work against that problem?
Thanks for your help! Cause it really annoys me... in other threads everything looks great as well on the lappy as on the desktop ... but my work differs soooo much -.-
For getting the color right, try studying some master artists who used a similar color scheme, such as Rembrandt.
Great to see all this hard work, keep it up!
Hey thanks for your reply Liffey
This family study is a master copy, but the problem isn't that I cannot get the colors right but that it looks different on my desktop and on my laptop...
On my desktop pc were I work I would say that the colors are "right" (perhaps not perfect but quite cool I think ... But on the laptop it looks completely different ....
And that's not good .... does anyone know where this effect comes from or what I could do?
Sorry, this post again without something to show (I am not at home atm)
But this problem here really bothers me ......
Thanks for your help
The only way to help is to calibrate your monitor. You can use this free tool to help you adjust your brightness and contrast (and I think there are other free tools and software out there that you can use; I haven't really looked), or you can buy a piece of hardware that will calibrate your monitor for you (like this one here). Here is an article that talks about different ways of calibrating your monitor.
Sketchbook * Deviantart * Twitter * Google+
dierat Thanks for the tip. But perhaps it isn't too bad to have so different monitors, because I might see problem zones, which I wouldnt have seen on my "painting monitor"
Unfortunately not much to show.. but a random doodle and some still lifes....
Here we go.
Only one head, one value study, and one something
one new head and some random scribbles ...
one new head. Didn't scan any other stuff atm ..
Here we go
nice studys man I want to do some Carrivagio studies now.

So this happened… twitter.com/Busyphilipps25…
— Busy Philipps (@Busyphilipps25) December 10, 2012
Philipps chatted to E! about her strategy in dressing for the awards in her third trimester of pregnancy.
"It was hard to decide which way to go. Do you hide the bump, do you show it off?' the Cougar Town said of her Gabriella Candela gown.
'I went with show it off! I embraced it!'
Busy, who is due in June, said she's been craving sandwiches. She also opened up about announcing her pregnancy on Twitter, joking, 'I didn't want people to think I was just getting chubby. I was excited to share the news!'
Dressing in the latter stages of pregnancy can be a tricky thing, but typically showing a bump, particularly when it is a big bump, with a stretchy tight wrap clothing or ruching, does more to show off your overall glamour and style than placing tent clothing around it try to disguise it, which only makes you look "bigger" particularly if the emphasis is to hide your belly.
Another good rule of thumb is to go for solid colors and less busy patterns if you are in the later stages of pregnancy with a bump that feels more like a mountain. A full length maxi dress or gown in a solid color in the later stages of pregnancy will greatly elongate your look and streamline your figure. The early and mid months of pregnancy are generally a better time to mix up the patterns and prints, before the bump becomes the main focus of your shape. Also, as we all know, darker colors are more slimming and the winter months are a good time to take advantage of that strategy.
Pregnancy is a beautiful time in life and one you will want to remember fondly. If you have fun with your curves and bump at each stage of your pregnancy than you will feel as beautiful as you look.

Nice oatmeal imperial stout nose, but the flavor is such a letdown. All the beers here show promise; there is an initial excitement (like in the 8th grade when you find your grandpa's Jenny McCarthy playboy) but in the end, of course you want more! It's 2013; Jenny McCarthy is a busted old floozy and we expect more!

On tap at Societe.
A: Pitch black with two fingers of dense dark brown froth. Good retention with scattered lacing.
S: Charred malt, earth, blackstrap molasses, and dark chocolate. Prominent licorice presence blends with light alcohol notes. Soft milk chocolate and sweeter malt characteristics come out as the beer opens up.
T: Strong roasted grain presence with pervasive licorice and molasses notes. Bittersweet dark chocolate accompanies a moderate bitterness. Big licorice notes in the boozy bitter charred and slightly astringent finish.
M: Lower full in body with upper medium carbonation. The mouthfeel is dry and sticky.
Overall: Not really my style of Imperial Stout in that it's heavier on the roast and licorice than I prefer, but it's well made and still pretty enjoyable.

Richly flavored but somewhat less thick-bodied than you might expect. Winey dark roast taste. Lots of malt coming from every direction.
Really big chocolate caramel candy flavor. Bitterness of blackened barley and plenty of hops. Actually a pretty good balance of malt and hops. Creamy and buttery in the mouth with a hint of ripe cheese. Dark and bitter chocolate bars is the strong flavor.
Handsome brownish black in the big tulip glass. Nice malty, caramel aroma. Plenty of spritz to start but flattens out leaving an oily mouthfeel. On tap at the Regal Beagle in San Diego.

On tap for Churchill's Renaissance 2013 at Churchill's Pub & Grille in San Marcos, CA.
Vintage batch 1 keg.
Pours an opaque black with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy patches of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa, and slight coffee aromas. Taste is much the same with cocoa and char flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is tasty and has aged fairly well in my opinion.

On tap at Societe. Black. Smell was pretty damn great. Thick black malts, roasty and dense. Really just a great aroma. The flavor was aiight but didn't really hit the notes suggested by the aroma. Alcohol was not well disguised but it is a Russian imperial stout so what do you expect? I'd buy this again to smell it and hope that the taste would live up to aroma.

On Tap
Churchill's Pub & Grille
San Marcos, CA
Black throughout with a thin, creamy, light brown head that leaves behind a thin ring all the way down the glass, leaving irregular webs of lace. This is a very pretty imperial stout--gorgeous, really.
Bold roast aroma dominates, with a bit of ash and char as well. There's mild dark fruit character along with a hint of alcohol, but the bold, expressive, roasted malt is more than dominant.
The flavor is similar to the aroma, though slightly more complex. The roasted malt shines again, with a bit of a grainy chocolate flavor as well, along with alcohol warmth.
Medium to near full in body with low-moderate carbonation.
These guys continue to impress!

On Tap @ Societe
10oz pour
A: Pours damn dark. Totally opaque with a shiny luster and hardly even a thinning edge to it. Light khaki cream head with sufficient stay power and some nice tracks of lace down the glass.
S: Nice coffee rich aroma. Firm use roasted barley evident. Toasted cereals with some dark cherry and mixed dark fruits. A faint chocolate nuttiness. Pretty nice nose with roast coffee at the forefront.
T: Flavor has a big roast coffee influence with some dark fruits and blackberries coming through. Roasted barley with nutty toasted oats. There is some sweet toffee that rounds out nicely with a smooth chocolate note. Has a light prickly bitterness to the beer with a tart edge towards the finish. Like dried black cherries covered in chocolate. Some mild anise noted. Alcohol is incredibly low key here. Flavors and balance really come together nicely on this one. Quite delicious.
M: Moderate body that doesn't bear down on the palate. Very smooth and silky feel with a bit of lingering sticky sweetness. There is a consistent carbonation with a sharp bite towards the finish that is kind of welcoming here as it cuts through the sweetness. Creamy overall.
D: Surprisingly good for their initial Stout offering. Falls more in the Double Stout territory. Incredibly drinkable and complete. I had a hard time letting this one get to temp. Deep rich roast flavors with such a smooth balance
Nitro offering should be nice and I can only see good things putting this one through a barreling program.

Draft at Small Bar in San Diego, CA. March 2013.
Pitch black and opaque with a one finger dark mocha head that quickly settles into a thick, lasting ring. Streaks of soapy lace left behind.
Nice roasted malt aroma with sweet chocolate notes. Well balanced with dark and milk chocolate notes, gourmet coffee bean and oatmeal countered by baker's chocolate and dessert fudge/cake-like sweetness.
Medium bodied and slightly viscous with a nice balance of deep roast and sweet malt notes. Burnt sugars, roasted coffee bean, oatmeal and dark chocolate countered by lactose cream, sweet bakers chocolate, fudge, dark chocolate cake, caramel and toffee. Nicely balanced. Really dry and slightly burnt up front but the lactose and sweeter malt notes come in on the back end balancing things out. ABV is invisible making this beer very easy to drink.

A: Pitch black and super oily looking with almost no head on the pour.
S: Huuuge roasted malt and dark roast coffee aroma with some espresso, dark chocolate and charred wood as well.
T: Wow. Short of Big Black Bear Stout, I don't know that I've ever tried a beer as bitter an dark as this. Tons of roasted/charred malt, bittersweet chocolate, espresso bean and wet earth notes. Ends in's burnt chocolate/ dark roast coffee note. Mouthfeel is smooth and velvety without ever really showing the ABV. Really nicely done. Make sure you like them really dark before you touch this one.

Poured with not much attention to its aesthetic potential. Dark, thick, blackness with slight tan head. Nose is nice - roasted coffee, wood chips?, chocolate, maybe some vanilla on the back end. Taste is first sweet - chocolate, mocha, espresso. The finish is where this beer gets interesting. The sweet richness and dark chocolate qualities dissolve into a smokey bitterness. Pretty bitter for an imperial stout with what comes across to me like some burnt wood (in a good way). Drinks relatively heavy and the alcohol is present the whole time, which is fine at 9.5%. Mouthfeel is really good. Carbonation is there but it still keeps a nice creamy quality. Really nice RIS overall.

I tried this on tap at the brewery a few days ago. Reviewed from notes.
Light repelling obsidian black with a dark brown cap. Head retention is excellent. The aroma is roasted malts and espresso and dark chocolate in the back. Strong burnt toast roastyness in the taste. Chewy, thick dark malts mix with plenty of bitter hops in the fray. The mouthfeel is velvety thick on the verge of oily. A long lasting bitterness, equal parts from the roasted malts and hops, makes up the finish. Alcohol heat is always kept in check, never detracting from the roasty assault.
This is a fantastic Imperial Stout. Very dry and bitter. If you like your stouts with a strong roasty character, this one's for you.

Growler shared by Chris (spycow). Served in a Hill Farmstead tulip.
A - Tan foam settles to a wispy cap and thin collar, leaving tiny spots of lace behind. Black body.
S - Plenty of roasted grains, cocoa, molasses, light dark fruits, perhaps a hint of char or burnt coffee. Really impressive aroma for a straight-up RIS. Great balance and no alcohol to be found.
T - The taste doesn't have the same sweetness as the aroma, but it's still quite enjoyable. Heavy on the roast, with light notes of cocoa and vanilla, and a bitter anise-heavy finish. Again, not much in the way of alcohol.
M - Medium-full body, smooth texture, pleasant lower-level carbonation, and minimal warming for the listed ABV.
D - It's nice to reminded that a stout can be this good without going in a barrel of some sort. The flavor is a tad too bitter for me to drink this in large quantities, but otherwise it's a very well-crafted and somewhat traditional take on the style. Will have to try more offerings form Societe in the future.

A nice middle of the road black color, substantial 1.33" head on the chalice. Sure is pretty. Retention solid. Lacing very good. Aroma was pretty simple, heavily roasted malt, no alcohol discernable, smelled like virgin oak. Straightforward.
Taste, wow, chewy, big malt base eats up all the alcohol perceptibility. Serious bitter notes. Not very sweet, we're talkin' that dark baker's chocolate that offers just as much bitterness as it does sweetness. The liquid fits the description of "coating" the mouth. Silky and bitter at the same time. Carbonation is spot on, a little lower than other offerings at the brewery.
Just a massive straight up stout with tons of two row, and keeps the chocolate and coffee to a minimum. Never picked up on any wood in the taste. Pretty substantial stuff, and yet, enjoyable to drink throughout.

To me the taste was just delicious. Great balance, great mouthfeel. One of the best imperial stouts I've tried in a long long time. Reminded me a lot of founders imperial stout, which is definitely a good thing.

Thank you, my friend.
A - Thick, creamy tan head that looks fantastic, dark body.
S - Lots of roast, mild hops, sweetness comes through after a bit.
T - Much like the aroma upfront, with lots of roasted malt. Bitter yet chocolate takes a sudden grab of the flavor with what seem to be some light hops, then some earthy woody flavor hits (almost like it was in a barrel). Finishes well with the early flavors, which seem very favorable. Maybe a slight hint of heat in the finish, but I'm stretching to detect it.
M - Medium yet creamy.
O - I really like this, especially for a non-BA RIS. On par with something like Darkness.

Nice big black pour with tan/reddish head. Smell is of loads of roasted malt, dark dark cacao, cocoa powder, nuts, and a slightly bitter hop scent. Taste is similar to the scent with the dark cacao, cocoa powder and nuts front and center with a nice dry slightly bitter finish. This beer is very nice, not cloyingly sweet like some RIS and no trace of the 9.8% alcohol. Liked this very much, just hoping that the next time they make it they will be able to bottle it.

This was a wonderful, wonderful suprise. It ranks among the top RIS I have ever had (I've had quite a few)
A: Pours a dark, viscous black. Some lacing visible on the glass. Maintains a decent finger of milk chocolate foam. Completely opaque; no light escapes this dark beast. Coats the glass nicely.
S: A wonderful aromatic delight. Smells of dark, roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. A little bit of booze is present, but you really have to smell for it
T: Wonderfully balanced. A little on the bitter side to offset some of the malty sweetness. Notes of dark, roasted coffee and dark chocolate gently even out the sweetness of the malt. Deffinitely not a syrupy sweet beer; but I like my stouts with a little tang. Some faint prune and raisen notes present. Alcohol is only present very mildy as it warms the back of your throat; otherwise not too boozy.
M: Velvety smooth. This is a beer that can make your spoon stand up. It coats your tongue and mouth like it coats the glass. Deffinitely not for the faint of heart. This is a meal, but the best meal I've ever had.
Overall, this one is up there. One of the best. Would not change a thing about it at all.

Charlie Sheen's studio bosses may be going with the hands up, " what can we do?" approach regarding his crazy antics that landed him at home " in rehab," but many of the rest of the crew on the hit show are not so calm.
"Two and a Half Men" is now on hiatus while Sheen figures his crap out and this has many on set fuming.
READ: Charlie's Men mom sends her love
"We are really pissed," vents one of the key crew members on set.

"A lot of us do not get paid, if we don't work," continues our rightfully frustrated source. "So, if he's off getting rehabbed, or porn-o-ing, or whatever, we're screwed."
It's true, CBS suits may be hurting a little bit during Sheen's break, but, at the end of the day, they aren't the ones getting by on a day-to-day work basis.
And this is hardly the first time Charlie Sheen's behavior impacted workers on his show.Charlie Sheen's ups and downs
"Two and a Half Men" production was halted last February, too, when Sheen entered rehab after his Christmas scuffle with Brooke Mueller.
"To the best of my knowledge, the crew wasn't paid back then, either, says an additional inside "Two" source, who's currently knee-deep in this hiatus's sh--storm.
According to Variety, 16 out of 24 episodes have already been shot of "Men" this season and right now CBS is rushing to replace its time spot by ordering more of their other shows like "Rules of Engagement."
VIDEO: More on Sheen's wild Hollywood night!
Before Charlie single-handedly halted production, his show was the number-one comedy at CBS, which had no comment on the crew's monetary situation.
Here's hoping Sheen can lose his invincible attitude and actually get help -- so those who depend on him for feeding their families can be helped, too.Story: Sheen's playboy antics don't ruin 'Men' for fans

El Paso Inc.: Tripper Goodman is 2012 El Pasoan of the Year
Updated On: Jan 14 2014 09:23:56 PM CST
Leonard "Tripper" Goodman III, El Paso Inc.'s El Pasoan of the Year for 2012, heads the Goodman Financial Group and has been active in civic affairs for three decades.
Most recently, he headed up the El Paso Tomorrow PAC that financed the campaign in support of the two bond propositions and the ballpark that voters approved last month.
By Election Day, Goodman said, the political action committee raised and spent close to $400,000 on TV, radio and newspaper ads and mailers to people's homes.
The extent to which the well-funded campaign influenced the final outcome of the election is impossible to tell. But more than 70 percent of voters supported two bond propositions totaling $473 million to pay for quality-of-life projects, and 60 percent backed the controversial Proposition 3 to finance a ballpark Downtown.

Grade: 7
The Bears' first-string defense allowed only one play longer than 19 yards. Conte was effective in coverage for the most part. He broke up three passes and helped hold tight end Jared Cook in check.
Grade: 9.5
It clearly was Brian Urlacher's best game of the season, and it went beyond the big plays he made (interception, forced fumble, fumble recovery).
Urlacher was the primary reason the Bears' first string held Johnson to an average of 3.8 yards per rush. He tackled Johnson five times and held him to a 2.8-yard average on those plays. He also trucked over Johnson on a blitz and put a hit on quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. And he got Johnson to cough up the ball.
Two other points on Urlacher.
On his interception, he broke to where the ball was being thrown before Hasselbeck threw it. That's instinct.
On a deep attempt to Cook in the back of the end zone that was incomplete, Urlacher stayed with the fleet-footed tight end down the seam. That's speed.
Defensive line
Grade: 4
Julius Peppers had a quiet day and Henry Melton played about half as much as usual because of a back injury, so the pass rush was off.
Israel Idonije was a force against the run, and Nate Collins again had a couple of flash plays.
Offensive line
Grade: 4.5
It was a rough day for both tackles, but the Bears fortunately got away with minimal damage. Gabe Carimi and J'Marcus Webb struggled repeatedly with outside speed rushes. They gave up only one sack as a result.
After Kamerion Wimbley zipped by Webb in the end zone, Webb grabbed his facemask for a safety. Webb was called for another hold as well.
Carimi was fortunate he was not called for holding Akeem Ayers on Matt Forte's touchdown run.
The run blocking arguably was the best it has been all season.

After hearing from several runners about the awesomeness of the so-called Clay Loop near Clermont, I finally made the trek with a co-worker to run the hilly, 9.8-mile route. The loop is actually more like a rectangle and is on soft, sandy red-clay roads, probably old citrus roads, with little traffic. It's great for barefoot runners and fat-tire bikes, too. Parts appear otherworldly, because what probably once was citrus groves have been cleared to become aquifer-recharge areas with recycled... Read More

The junior rushed for 181 yards and four touchdowns and passed for 364 yards and four more scores as the Thunder gained their second win of the season, as well as their second regional victory.
"We played to the end," Jacksonville Christian coach Tommy Miller said. "I feel good about the win."
Coosa received first but had to punt away after a short drive. Jacksonville Christian was unable to capitalize on their first possession as well, resulting in a turnover on downs.
The Conquerors next possession looked promising, starting with a 52-yard from junior quarterback Johnny Grizzard, followed by a first-down run from running back Benjamin Mills.
Two downs later, Jacksonville Christian recovered a fumble, and on the next play, junior Kris Armprester took a long pass for a 70-yard touchdown, putting the Thunder up 7-0 at the end of the first.
Coosa answered at the start of the second with a 49-yard touchdown run from Mills.
The rest of the half was a shootout with both teams scoring on every possession.
Toward the end of the half, a quarterback keeper led to another touchdown for Brackett, and on the kickoff the Thunder recovered the ball after it bounced off a Coosa defender.
Jacksonville went into half time with a seven-point lead over Coosa 34-27.
The third quarter saw a much more aggressive defense from Jacksonville Christian. The Thunder held Coosa to no points the whole quarter while putting up three more touchdowns.
Armprester completed a touchdown pass, and Brackett returned a kickoff for an 85-yard run into the end zone. Senior running back Cody Blohm scored on a carry at the end of the third.
The Conquerors rallied back in the fourth. Grizzard took in two keepers, and freshman Isaac Hamby completed a touchdown pass bringing Coosa up to 48.
A short carry from Brackett late in the fourth sealed the victory for the Thunder.
"We're still young, and we're still finding ways to shoot ourselves in the foot," Coosa head coach Scott Clifton said. "We've got to learn to overcome adversity."
Miller said that the success of his defense in the third quarter was due to last minute adjustments during the half: "I didn't know if they were going to work or not, but they did."

370 N Adams Rd, Rochester Hills, MI | Directions 4830942.685190 -83.194233
Lunch: Mon - Sat, 11am - 4pm; Sun, 11am - 3pm; Dinner: Mon - Thu, 4pm - 10pm; Fri, Sat, 4pm - 11pm; Sun, 3pm - 9pm
Great seafood, attentive service, good wine list – This new restaurant in a great location is already pretty popular. Rochester does not have many good up to date restaurants, so this is a breath of fresh air.
The food was very fresh and imaginatively prepared. Although not clear on the menu, you can order any of the fish choices and have it prepared any way you like, i.e., you can mix and match cooking style and type of fish.
The wait staff is knowledgable and attentive. The manager is also quite visible and checks on you.
The wine list is extensive and fairly priced. They mix a great frosty Martini.
If you have a special request for seating, though, be sure to remind the hostess. She is a bit ditzy and it is best to be clear what you expect. Valet parking is fast and friendly.
All in all, this is one of the best restaurants in the area.
Editorial Review – Nautical-themed upscale seafood chain features a rotating menu of 80 selections fresh from the water. Cocktails served at the bar.

Black Spout waterfall – Edradour, Pitlochry
One of our favourite short walks around Pitlochry is through the Black Spout Woods to the Black Spout waterfall.
The woods can be accessed from the Atholl Road near to the Blair Atholl Distillery (home of Bells whisky). However, our preferred route is a short walk from above the falls starting at the Edradour Distillery.
The route is less than 1km in each direction. Follow the signs down from Edradour and you can't go wrong. Lovely oak woodland with great views across the fields to Ben Vrackie, Craigower Hill and Pitlochry. The waterfall itself is about 60m high and after periods of rainfall can be an impressive torrent.
Well worth the short walk. Easily combined with a tour of Edradour Distillery.

I consider myself as a reader of history, and from this reading of many books I've come to believe that real U.S. history in our schools has been glazed over. Our nation is so close to being an empire in the 21st Century — one can safely say yes, we are an empire.
Sooner or later, all empires fall. And many times they fall from causes within the empire.
Even though the people voted for another term for President Obama, it does not mean there will be smooth sailing in our government; after all, look at the House of Representatives. We still have what we had before the election. The party of no is still in power.
The speaker of the House has said we have to put the people back to work. What does he mean by this since he also said no taxes increases for the rich. Is he thinking of jobs for those who are cut from Social Security and Medicare? Even when Social Security was voted for in the 1930s, there were many who called it socialism and feared it would ruin America.
The first thing on the list for cuts is Social Security and Medicare. Not one word about all our aid overseas and the wars to expand our empire.
I've got news for those who cut Social Security, Medicare and Tri-Care. I've got plans of my own to cut stuff that I don't need, like newspapers, books, magazines, cable TV, some food stuff, gas and any number of other things, like gifts to charity. I've been poor before. I guess I can be poor once again. I came in with the Depression in 1931, so I can go out in the next one in 2013 or 2014.

Don't miss an opportunity to provide your child with a faith based learning experience.
The Learning Tree is a full-time year-round daycare, preschool, and kindergarten program. We pride ourselves in partnering with parents in helping each child become a well-rounded individual spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and academically. It is far more than a "daycare center." Since 1975 we have provided quality daycare, preschool and kindergarten to families in Winter Park and surrounding areas.
We are a state certified facility (license # C070R0154) and use a variety of age-specific curriculum to achieve these goals, even with infants. The facilities are modern and the staff is professional. Faculty/student ratios are always lower than state requirements.
We have found a balance of curriculum from "Wee Learn," "Hand Writing Without Tears" and ABeka to be best in helping children in the growing and learning process. Our staff is always evaluating trends and curriculum from a variety of sources.
The Learning Tree is first and foremost a Christian school. Chapel services that are age-specific are important parts of our week. We also find field trips (3's and up) and other special events (especially seasonal events) make the total experience even better. We have an open-door policy and we value parent's participation in the classroom.
Full Time Day Care
Full time Day Care is provided Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. A nutritious hot lunch is provided as part of the program. This is our most popular program. The day is filled with a wide variety of learning experiences both inside and outside on our modern playground. We use a variety of learning styles using all the senses: touch, taste, sight, sound and smell. Our low teacher/child ratio assures each child is cared for as an individual in a safe, stimulating environment. In addition, we want to know your family, as well, and recognize this is an important part of the whole Learning Tree experience. You, the parent, are kept up to speed on what has happened each day. We are very proud of this superior program.
Preschool only is offered 9:00 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday. We also provide the LUNCH BUNCH program for parents who desire their child to be enrolled in the morning program but can't be here for noon pick-up. This works well for moms who work part-time. Pick-up may be scheduled as late as 2:00 p.m. for three and four year old children.
Summer Camp
Summer Camp is offered to children who have completed kindergarten through completing third grade. This is a very popular eleven-week program offered throughout the summer from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. This program fill up fast so make your reservations early.

But then this is hardly a case of "kids who have very different political/world views being thrown together and being forced to work together," which was your point concerning the value of school. Instead they're being "offered the option of working together" with others, which is exactly what my own kids get as homeschoolers.
Miranda I am not responding to this thread to say that public school is the best option for all students, but instead to point out that much of what you value about homeschooling also exists in the public school.. When I say that students are being thrown together, I mean that they are going to interact with many people who might be out of their comfort zone both in terms of socioeconomically and culturally. I think this is a value of public school. If someone is made so uncomfortable by this that they do not wish to deal, or if a student just wants to be left alone to do their own thing there is room for that, either within the public school forum or within the homeschool forum. Not all students will, or should, have the same experience.
As I said upthread YMMV. I am not trying to tell you that home schooling kids is wrong, just that all public schools do not deserve the bad rap I consistently see in this forum. I think there are advantages to homeschooling. I also see advantages to public schooling (something I don't think I will get you to agree with me on, eh?).

Dragons held to goalless draw
Chunnam Dragons missed the chance to go third in the K-League as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Incheon United in torrential rain.
The solitary point keeps Chunnam in fifth place, a point behind Seoul in fourth and Jeju in third place respectively.
For the hosts it was two points dropped especially as Incheon saw Jang Hyok sent off for a wild challenge after 33 minutes.
Jang had missed Incheon's best chance earlier in the half when he was through on goalkeeper Lee Woon-jae, only to see his shot saved by the former Korea Republic international.
After the sending off, Chunnam piled on the pressure with Brazilian duo Indio and Wesley going close - although both were unable to get the all important goal.
Incheon coach Huh Jung-moo said: "If the conditions had been better then we could have played a good game with Chunnam.
"As it was, it wasn't the best game but we will keep trying to pick up points and reach the play-offs."

The winter storm that hit the South hard on Tuesday forced the postponement of Alabama men's basketball game at Auburn from Wednesday night to Thursday evening.
The SEC rivalry will start 25 minutes after the Auburn women wrap up their game against Texas A&M. Tickets from Wednesday's Alabama-Auburn game will be honored Thursday.
"After consulting with the Southeastern Conference, it has been determined that the men's basketball game between Auburn University and the University of Alabama has been postponed until Thursday due to wintery weather across the state of Alabama," Auburn said in a statement. "The safety of the participating teams, staff and fans was considered in postponing the game."
Alabama enters the SEC game with a 9-10 overall and 3-3 conference record. Auburn, which has lost six in a row, is 8-9 and 0-6.

Looking out, you realize that you are not in your room after all. In fact, you're in the observatory, the tallest tower of the keep. Looking back at your room, you notice small differences. Your books are arranged in a different order, there's a small chip in your bed frame, and a baby Ziraafa is poking it's head out from beneath the bed. You spend the rest of the day moving your posessions back to your room, piece by piece, down the massive spiral staircase.

Crusaders' Opponents Set for Cancun Trip
Monday, August 02, 2010
With departure for Cancun, Mexico less than a week away and half of its allotment of ten practice days remaining, Valparaiso revealed Monday the opposition it will face on its first-ever preseason foreign tour August 8-13, including a pro squad that went 31-9 in the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional last season.
"Practices have been just wonderful so far," said Crusader head coach Homer Drew. "This has been my first experience with July practices and I would love to have more of them. The players came in fresh and energetic, and we've been able to put in lots of our offensive and defensive plays. We're exciting about finishing practice this week and heading to Cancun to face some tough opposition next week."
The Crusaders will fly down to Cancun on Sunday, August 8 and then play one game a night at 7pm August 9-12 before flying back to the States on Friday, August 13. The games on Monday and Wednesday will pit Valpo against LNBP squad Pioneros de Quintana Roo, which finished the 2009-2010 regular season in third place out of 20 teams before falling in seven games in the league semifinals to the eventual league champion. Meanwhile, on Tuesday and Thursday, the Crusaders will take on Rebotera de Cancun.
"Cory, Cam, Kevin and Vuc have all really been working hard in the post so far in practice," said Drew. "They all have come in stronger and more aggressive around the boards. Meanwhile, all our perimeter players have come in, worked hard and really learned very quickly. We are a team that will have good depth this season."
